< 以斯帖記 5 >
1 第三天,艾斯德爾身穿王后的華服,站在王宮的內院,面向宮殿;那時君王正坐在宮殿的寶座上,面向宮門。
And it was - on the day third and she put on Esther royalty and she stood in [the] court of [the] house of the king inner before [the] house of the king and the king [was] sitting on [the] throne of royalty his in [the] house of royalty before [the] entrance of the house.
2 君王一見艾斯德爾王后在庭院內,就對她起了寵幸的心,於是向艾斯德爾伸出手中的金杖,艾斯德爾遂上前來,摸了金杖的頂端。
And it was when saw the king Esther the queen standing in the court she bore favor in view his and he extended the king to Esther [the] scepter of gold which [was] in hand his and she drew near Esther and she touched [the] top of the scepter.
3 君王問她說:「艾斯德爾后,你有什麼事﹖你要求什麼﹖即使要求一半江山,我也必賜給你! 」
And he said to her the king what? [is] to you O Esther the queen and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom so it may be given to you.
4 艾斯德爾答說:「若大王開恩,請大王今日與哈曼同去飲妾為陛下所預備的酒宴。」
And she said Esther if [is] on the king good let him come the king and Haman this day to the feast which I have made for him.
5 王遂說:「快叫哈曼來,以滿足艾斯德爾的心願! 」於是王和哈曼一同去赴艾斯德爾預備的酒宴。
And he said the king bring quickly Haman to do [the] word of Esther and he came the king and Haman to the feast which she had made Esther.
6 酒興之餘,王對艾斯德爾說:「你要求什麼,我必給你;不管你求什麼,那怕是半壁江山,也必照辦。」
And he said the king to Esther at [the] feast of wine what? [is] petition your sp it may be given to you and what? [is] request your up to half of the kingdom and it may be done.
And she answered Esther and she said petition my and request my.
8 如果我見寵於大王,如果大王樂意俯允我的懇請,實踐我的要求,就請大王明天與哈曼,再來飲妾所設的酒宴;明天我必依照君王的命答覆陛下。」
If I have found favor in [the] eyes of the king and if [is] on the king good to grant petition my and to do request my let him come the king and Haman to the feast which I will make for them and tomorrow I will do according to [the] word of the king.
9 那一天,哈曼出去,非常高興,滿心喜樂;但是哈曼一見在御門前的猶太人摩爾德開既不起立,也不退避,就對他滿懷憤恨,
And he went out Haman on the day that joyful and good of heart and just as saw Haman Mordecai at [the] gate of the king and not he stood up and not he trembled from him and he was filled Haman towards Mordecai rage.
10 卻仍忍氣回了家,且打發人叫他的朋友和愛妻則勒士來,
And he restrained himself Haman and he went to house his and he sent and he gathered friends his and Zeresh wife his.
11 向他們誇耀自己如何富貴榮華,子女如何眾多,君王如何尊崇他,如何高舉他在眾公卿和朝臣之上。
And he recounted to them Haman [about] [the] splendor of wealth his and [the] multitude of sons his and [about] all that he had made great him the king and this: he had exalted him above the officials and [the] servants of the king.
12 他又說:「甚至,艾斯德爾王后,除我以外,沒有請任何人與君王一同赴她設的盛宴;明天又請我再同君王到她那裏去。
And he said Haman also not she let come [anyone] Esther the queen with the king to the feast which she had prepared that except me and also for tomorrow I [am] invited by her with the king.
13 但每當我一見坐在御門前的猶太人摩爾德開時,這一切於我都乏味了! 」
And all this not it [is] adequate for me at any time when I [am] seeing Mordecai the Jew sitting at [the] gate of the king.
14 他的愛妻則勒士和他的朋友便對他說:「該做一個高五十尺的刑架,天一亮就對君王說:把摩爾德開懸在上面! 這樣你可欣然與君王共同赴筵了。」哈曼看這主意不錯,就叫人做了一個刑架。
And she said to him Zeresh wife his and all friends his let people make a gallows high fifty cubit[s] and in the morning - speak to the king so people may hang Mordecai on it and go with the king to the feast joyful and it was good the word before Haman and he made the gallows.
